My New Testament Assignment (I really like this one)
So this is a post of one of my New Testament assignments. The assignment was to write out the important events the last week of Christ's life. I got my info from the New Testament Institute Manual, fyi. So here it is:
Day 1: Jesus rode through Jerusalem and the people cried Hosanna to Him.
Day 2: Challenged the Jewish religious leadership by calling everyone out on exchanging money in the temple.
Day 3: Christ was challenged by the Jewish priests and responded by sharing parables that didn't exactly make them happy. He called out the scribes and the Pharisees for being hypocrites. Christ only taught the twelve from that day forward. The plot to kill Jesus began to be planned. Judas Iscariot offered to help betray Christ.
Day 4: Jesus knew of the plot against his life. None of the gospel recorders recorded anything for this day.
Day 5: The last supper, the introduction of the sacrament, the suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas' betrayal, Christ's arrest and illegal trial all happened on that day.
Day 6: Christ was charged with blasphemy and with sedition against the state. Pontius Pilate found Jesus guiltless on both charges but charged Him with them anyway to appease the citizens. Christ was tortured and crucified (which is also torture on the body). He died and was taken down from the cross and placed in the tomb.
Day 7: The Jewish Sabbath. Christ's body remained in the tomb but his spirit taught the dead.
Day of the Resurrection: Christ was resurrected and emerged from the tomb.

This is one where I ramble a lot. Fasten your seatbelts, because it may be difficult to follow.
I blocked my first person on here. Not because they were doing anything bad necessarily, but I put on here some pretty personal stuff that I don't want some people to know. If you are reading my blog, then I trust you. This particular person is really trying to prematurely get inside my head when I really don't want them there. Anyway, I just thought it was interesting that even though this person is a friend of mine, I still don't feel comfortable with them knowing everything I put on here. It is 1:15 am...I didn't feel like going to bed before but now I'm debating. I'm really tired but I'm also really hungry. I don't normally stay up this late, but tonight seemed as good of a night as any to stay up insanely late. This weekend is going to be awesome mainly because I bought a red velvet mini cake at Broulim's today. I am in love with red velvet cake. There's still 2/3 of it left. 1/3 for each day :D. I can't wait to be on summer break. I love school, don't get me wrong, but everyone needs a break every once in awhile (like 7 weeks out of the year for example?) I'm looking forward to a lot of sunbathing, and fun mischief making. I'm really looking forward to being able to hang out with my dogs all day too. They love sunbathing as well :). Well, I think a lack of sleep is giving me a headache. I'm going to suppress the hunger and go to bed.

New Testament Assignment!
As I have said with my other new testament assignments, please excuse me if there is any confusion due to lack of context. I don't really know how to add detailed context to this without being long winded. This assignment, we were supposed to read assigned parables and pick a principle to be learned from each one. Here's mine:
1. Luke 16:1-12: The principle to be learned from this parable is preparation for the future.
2. Luke 16:19-31: The principle that I got from this parable is that those who suffer in this life can be made whole again in the next life.
3. Luke 17:11-19: The principle to be learned here is that the gospel is for everyone because we are all God's children. Another principle demonstrated was the importance of giving thanks to God.
4. Luke 18:1-8: The principle to be learned here is that God listens to us always and that His ways are not the ways of the world.
5. Luke 18:9-14: I think a principle to be found in here is to stay away from arrogance and to always be humble.

You know, I become more of a cynic as the days go by. (warning: whining ahead).
Yup, this is a whiny post. Don't read any further if you don't want to hear me whine. I just really need to get the whining out, otherwise some sort of disaster will occur. I have such a headache from overthinking and overanalyzing. I've come to the conclusion that I have this particular belief even though every day so far has taught me that it isn't true. I don't know why I keep believing that I will one day find someone that I will fall in love with and stay in love with. I keep on believing that even though I've been taught that no matter what I do, I can't even get a date to save my life (which is where this is all supposed to start). I've been taught by experience that there's always a "bigger fish" (leave it to me to relate Star Wars to my non-existent love life. Figures.) You know what I mean by bigger fish right? That girl that usually is a lot prettier but a lot more dumb that always gets the guy you want? There are times where I try really hard, but it never gets me anywhere. Sometimes I try to cool it and let the guy come to me. That definitely never works. I try a little harder (sometimes a lot harder) to look nicer, and that will occasionally earn me some temporary notice that eventually leads to nowhere. Sometimes I veil my intelligence and that'll work for awhile until I slip up. Sometimes I accentuate that I love learning and reveal how much of a nerd I am. That automatically earns me a place in the "friend to ask for help on homework". Overall, I go for the confidence thing (which is real most of the time, but I fake it sometimes. Fake it till you make it), and again, it's proved ineffective. I don't get it! I'm also tired of people mentioning that I'm so pretty that I must have the boys lined up at the door. Excuse me? I hate this because it's exactly the opposite. If I am so pretty then what's the problem? Maybe I might be, but it's always more than that. I never completely change my personality for someone and I won't. I refuse. I also refuse to marry a guy just because he likes me. I could have done that. I've had someone tell me that it doesn't matter who I marry as long as he's a worthy priesthood holder, blah blah blah. But it matters to me. I'm not going to spend eternity with someone that I feel lukewarm about. What is that crap about? I mean, I was with a guy that was the "perfect Peter priesthood" type guy and I would have shot myself in the head if I married him. Him being a very worthy priesthood holder did not automatically make him marriage material in my mind. I realized, that I didn't really like his personality at all. I was only with him because I so badly wanted a relationship and he was crazy for me (sorry kid!). It sounds like I'm being too picky right? Well to your dismay, that was the first relationship I had in 4 years. And it sucked. Not to mention, I don't think it can be considered pickiness when there aren't any choices to begin with. I'm not trying to do a "poor me" thing here, but it's pretty darn frustrating, especially being at a school where everyone's getting married, encouraging marriage, popping out babies galore. And it seems that I can do nothing about this, because, without fail, every guy that has shown interest in me has turned out to be a creep. If I'm so "nice" and so "pretty" then why the heck do non-creepy guys stay away?? By the way, this was not triggered by anything in particular, I just happened to wake up from a nap thinking about this (strangest thing). What tops this whole frustration off is that I want more than anything to find that person I'm supposed to be with, so this isn't something I can just give up. I'd like to, just to save myself the grief, but I know that I won't. I just want someone who cares and someone who finds learning about the world to be just as fascinating as I do. Someone who believes in helping people out and who believes that everyone deserves forgiveness. I don't want a patriarchal type relationship where the guy believes that because he's the guy he gets to control me and everything else as well. I'm too much of an independent person to be controlled. It's the worst thing. Well, I guess I'm done here. I feel somewhat better, and then I remember that no one gives a crap anyway. Oh well, I guess this is where numbness sets in. Then I'll fall asleep and wake up in the morning feeling better. How wonderful.
